Step 5: Left side kick panel locate the set of black wires octopuses onto one bolt. See pic.
- Simply T-Tap your black wire here! Lightly pinch with pliers.



Step 6: Tape the green wire on a straight coat hanger and snake it through the rubber gormet under the steering column. See pics.
- This would be a good time to pop your hood,
- The hanger should come out from inside cabin, through the firewall under your hood.
